Grandpas.

Today is Friday here in Australia, so our weekend is near.

I hope you all have a great weekend when it gets to you.

John rang from Mildura about lunch-time. It is about six

hours north of Shepparton and is close to the borders of

both South Australia and New South Wales. I hope he is

able to keep warm tonight in a small tent and inside a swag.

Which is probably called a Bed roll ?

His daughter Bec rang him for his birthday and was barely

able to speak. She has a throat infection, very sore, and she

can’t speak at all . She is on medication from Doctor, so hope

she will soon feel better. Thinking about you Bec.!!

<><><><><>

We have a long weekend, with Monday being the day we honor

the Queen’s birthday ( She was 80 in April) but it suits to

have it celebrated in June. I do not know why. Perhaps to

spread the holidays, as Easter is late March or April.

<><><><><><>

Tonight we begin with a Grandpa Poem. Fair’s fair after all.

WALKING WITH GRANDPA.

I like to walk with Grandpa,

His steps are short like mine.

He doesn’t sau “Now Hurry Up”

He always takes his time,

<><><><><>

I like to walk with Grandpa,

His eyes see things like mine do –

Wee pebbles bright, a funny cloud.

Half hdden drops of dew.

<><><><><><>

Most people have to hurry,

They don’t stop and see.

I’m glad that God made Grandpa,

Unrushed, and young like me. Poem by Thena Smith.

<><><><><><><> Joke of the Day ~ not very nice <><><><><><>

A homeless man knocks on the door and when the lady answers

he says: “Lady, I haven’t eaten for days. Could you spare a bite

to eat?”

She said: “You poor man, would you like some of yesterday’s soup?” “you bet I would,” he said.

“Fine,” she said, “come back tomorrow.”

<><><><><> I did warn that it was not very nice. <><><><><>

Now for a riddle ~~ Not very easy (in my opinion) Now I guess

you will all find it very simple!! Oh Well. <><><><>

The Riddle.

Seven letters are we,

Three different words we make,

Guess us or be ridiculed;

Your reputation’s at stake.

<><><><><>

The first has pictures,

Paintings and such,

The second causes sneezing,

from ragwood or dust

<><><><><>

The third is an adverb,

It’s hard to explain,

It’s the same as immensely

But it’s much more plain.

<><><><><>

These clues are sparse

This riddle may be tough.

But if you’re smart

Then it will be enough.
